In Skypaw's world it's Leafbare now, just as it is in the real world. I know it's my 2nd chapter already, but I kinda write short-ish chapters, so why not?! :-) Anyway on with the show! ;-)


Skypaw sniffed the brisk, stale, cold Leafbare air. She couldn't wait until Leafbare was over and Greenleaf was present. Skypaw sniffed around once again for what she was looking for, yes! I smell it! She thought excitedly. She padded over to a tree stump, where there was a small pile of crowfood. She smiled a bit, then weakly grabbed the rotting prey in her jaws. She quickly ran over to where StreamClan's Camp was, hoping to correctly throw the old prey into the fresh kill pile, she heard a patrol chatting away as they approached the camp. She panicked and threw the prey hopefully across the river. Then ran back toward camp, but what she didn't know, was that she had not threw it in the fresh kill pile, she had threw it in their stream where, later, cats of almost all ages would be catching fish.


"Got any more herbs this time?" Ivywind asked once again.

"Yes, but barely," She said, passing a bit of Catmint to Ivywind with her tail.

"Whats that scent on you?" Ivywind wondered out loud.

"What scent?" She said, lying.

Ivywind shot her an angry look.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet here beneath the HighStone," Dimstar announced.

She padded over to under the HighStone, wondering what he would be announcing. I bet a warrior is eating that piece of crowfood right now! She thought, I hope it's the tom who rescued me for no darn reason!

"It is time for the gathering, and these are the cats I want to go," He meowed, "Ivywind, Skypaw, Rustclaw, Goldenfeather, Doveshine, Nightpaw, Shadowpaw, Dreampaw, Starpaw, and Lilypaw."

She saw Nightpaw glance over towards me, I almost wanted to give up my medicine cat duties to be with him! Of course, Ivywind wouldn't be very fond of that, would she?


As about half of MoonClan set out on over the forest, she heard the river splashing with a steady splish sploosh splash sploosh splish! It sounded a bit different then usual, though. When they got there, all of the Clans were there as usual; StreamClan, MoonClan, SunClan, and DesertClan. Stonestar of StreamClan was first to jump up to the four tree stumps. "Which one of you crowfood eating Clans poisoned the river!?" He spat. All of the cats looked dumbfounded, including Skypaw. Poisoned? I didn't poison it! I threw it next to the pile! It's not like it has poisonous juices that seeped into all their prey! She thought. Her fur bristled, she was furious.

"Why do you accuse the Clans of poisoning you first? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Sunnystar of DesertClan asked, and with each 'Huh?' stepping forward, "And DesertClan lives lives not very close to your camp, so it can't be us! Could it?" She finished, turning around to face her own Clan.

"Calm down, Sunnystar" Dimstar soothed.

"O-o-okay!" Sunnystar happily replied with cuteness in her eyes.

"All we know," Stonestar continued, "Is that we were poisoned..." there was a silence, "by a cat!"
